No doubt I could possibly find this much on my own with some searching, but this board is so quick and works so well I thought I'd give it a go first.

I wish to build a nice surf rod. Two pieces perferably and something that would handle from about 4 to 6 ounces. I'll be throwing bait and some lead. Not too much really, but combined about 5 or 6 ounces.

Would prefer a graphite stick, but not too large. Prefer small diameter and ease of use - read lightweight! All suggestions are appreciated especially from those of you who do this type fishing and have actually used the blank you are going to recommend. Thank you very much!
